Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am here to present Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures) No. 3, 2017-2018. This document provides for a decrease of $5.8 million to the capital budget.
The items in these supplementary estimates are:
• $1.4 million for the construction of a new fish plant in Hay River. These costs are fully offset by a decrease in operations expenditures funding;
• $822,000 for the Tuktoyaktuk Airfield Lighting Rehabilitation project. These costs will be fully recovered by funding from Transport Canada; and
• An $8 million decrease to reflect changes in the timing of expenditures for bridge rehabilitation and replacement projects, specifically the Frank Channel bridge. This decrease is fully offset by increases in expenditures in future years for this project. This project is partially funded by contributions from the Government of Canada under the Building Canada Plan.
That concludes my opening remarks. I am prepared to respond to the committee's questions. Thank you.
